Chapter 265: Trains and Railways in the Demon Realm
Yu Tian is really looking forward to what the train in the demon world will look like. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn his mind, the demon world is a wild place, or like in fantasy novels. But now it seems that there is a steampunk feel to it again.
The two of them walked some way, and there was no one in sight on the empty plain, and then a tall building appeared on the horizon. This building looks a bit like an ancient European castle, but its roof is a bit like an ancient building in China, which looks like a unique beauty.
"This should be the train station, right?" Yu Tian asked.
Zhuge Liuyun nodded.
"It's still a little different from the train station I imagined." Yu Tian muttered to himself.
The train station on the horizon was very close, but it took Yu Tian and Zhuge Yun a quarter of an hour to get there, just because this train station was too huge.
Zhuge Yun walked into the station with Yu Tian and pushed open the giant gate that was ten meters high, but saw that the empty station hall was empty. The floors, walls, and ceilings are covered with intricate patterns, a bit like runes, but some like decorative patterns, like huge abstract decorative paintings.
"Strange, what about the family's defenders?" Zhuge Yun muttered to himself suspiciously as he walked.
"There are defenders here?" Yu Tian was a little surprised, "Isn't this a train station?" ”
"It's both a train station and a fortress." Zhuge Yun explained, "The demon realm is no better than the human realm, and all key areas within the family territory must be garrisoned and guarded. It seems that the family is indeed in a lot of trouble......"
Although Zhuge Yun's face was worried, he still continued to walk forward, and then, the two came to another equally tall gate. I saw Zhuge Yun take out a small piece of jade pendant from his body, and a bright and soft streamer fell from the sky, shining on the jade pendant, and almost at the same moment, there was a rumbling sound outside the gate.
"Alright, the train is ready." Zhuge Yun beckoned to Yu Tian, "Let's get in the car quickly." ”
"So advanced?" Yu Tian felt a little incredible, "This is completely an upgraded version of Didi Dache." ”
Zhuge Yun didn't bother to pay attention to Yu Tian's shouting, and the two quickly walked out of the door. Outside the gate was the location of the platform, but I saw a dark shadow not far away quickly approaching the direction of the platform.
Yu Tian finally saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly-this is a simple iron car with only one carriage. The shape of the body is somewhat like some kind of mythical beast, like a combination of a tiger and a dragon. In Zhuge Yun's words, this is the appearance of the Zhuge family's protector - the tiger dragon beast. The whole car is made of a dark purple metal, and thick copper nails can be seen on it, which is full of a quaint and wild atmosphere.
The Tiger Dragon Beast train stopped in front of Yu Tian and Zhuge Yun, and then a door opened on the side of the body. Zhuge Yun and Yu Tian walked into the carriage, and the door slowly closed.
The compartment is not very spacious, with two rows of upholstered seats, just enough to seat four or five people. So it's not so much a train as a car with tracks.
Curiously, there is no one in sight inside the train, which means that the train is completely autonomous.
A self-driving train? Yu Tian felt even more surprised, even in the human world, this technology has not really entered the application stage. But in the seemingly wild demon world, he is really sitting in such a train without a driver.
When Yu Tian and Zhuge Yun sat down on the seats, the car started slowly, and the speed became faster and faster.
"In this kind of tiger dragon beast car, it will take us about two hours to get to Zhuge 's house." Zhuge Yun explained to Yu Tian. With that, she turned her gaze out the window and fell into a long silence.
Through the small window, Yu Tian saw that the scenery outside the car window was constantly sweeping behind. The speed of the train is very fast, Yu Tian calculated according to the speed of the regression of the scenery, this train can run about 200 kilometers per hour, which is comparable to the bullet train of Huaguo, and it seems that the technical level of the demon world is indeed not low.
In this way, the territory of the Zhuge family should be four hundred miles away. In fact, the so-called territory is just an empty concept, and the territory that Zhuge Yun said should actually be the city where the Zhuge family lives, just like the administrative center or capital.
The city where the Zhuge family is located is directly named "White Tiger City", and the other three major families also adopt this very simple and clear naming method. In addition to the White Tiger City, the Zhuge family also has several more prosperous cities. The common denominator of these cities is the immensely fortified castles, interconnected railroads, and legions loyal to their families.
With these cities as the center, the effective control power of the White Tiger family can extend outward for about two hundred kilometers, and there will be many large and small settlements in these control areas, just like villages and towns, which together constitute the family's territory. Therefore, the place where Zhuge Liang and Yu Tian arrived was actually the edge of the Zhuge family's territory.
The train sped along the railroad, and on the way he saw several smaller fortified stations, but he still did not find a single defender.
Zhuge Yun withdrew his gaze from the window, and said with some concern: "I can't see a single family soldier on the way, it seems that something is really wrong, and I don't know what is going on with my father now......
The edge of the family's territory is actually a very important border. Generally speaking, the major families will arrange heavy guards here. The stations along the way are not guarded by troops, which can only indicate one possibility, that is, the Zhuge family has lost effective control of the border, or rather, the family has not been able to spare enough manpower to control the entire railway line.
Yu Tian was thinking about it, but he felt that the speed of the train suddenly slowed down, and there was a friction between the wheels and the rails, making a harsh metallic sound, which sounded a little upset.
With a series of vibrations coming from under the seat, then, Yu Tian felt his body lean forward slightly, and then there was silence inside and outside the carriage, and the tiger dragon beast car, which had been slowing down for a while, finally stopped reluctantly.
"Why did the train stop?" Yu Tian had a bad premonition, looked at Zhuge Yun and asked.
"The tiger dragon beast car has a certain ability to make independent judgments, as long as the target is set, it will be automatically reached, and there is no need for human intervention." Zhuge Yun Zhuge Yun grabbed the Tianluo umbrella in his hand, and his face became very solemn, "Now that the train has stopped, it can only mean that it has been interfered with by the outside world." Sure enough, it seems that some people don't want me to go back to White Tiger City. (To be continued.) )
